Who We Are

We're Heather & Lani...best friends living on opposite sides of the country. We started this blog as a way of keeping up with each others lives, and it's a little of this....a little of that: Design, deal hunting, DIY, decorating (lots of "D" words apparently)kids, tips, advice, venting, fashion, recipes...pretty much a bit of everything we love. We hope you find us as entertaining as we find ourselves! We're just two busy stay at home moms who realize that becoming a mom doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your diva status!

Hot chocolate bar

Being that we don’t have a mantle in our house I always like to dress up our little areas with something a little different and fun. Last year I did a drink station in our dining room (you can read more on that here)

This year I decided to do the same-ish concept but make it a little more kid friendly. We are still having our annual Santa Party and this little Hot Chocolate Bar will be awesome for kids and grownups alike!

Notice I still have yet to paint that little dresser of goodness. Next year. I swear it.

I want the theme of my house to be a bit modern and a bit rustic. I paired my burlap trees that I made last year (here) with some shiny red ornaments and one of my felt poinsettias…also crafted last year (here). The bar got filled with all kinds of good fixin’s for hot chocolate like candy canes, peppermint marshmallows, and cookies for dippin’ and stirrin’.

I just used whatever I had on hand, and ball jars truly do work for freaking everything don’t they?

And you really can’t have a hot chocolate bar without hot chocolate right? This is homemade and AWESOME…easy peasy recipe to come soon!

There we have my little bar! If you’re cold and need a lift, come on over and I’ll have a cup of cocoa all ready for you! If you’re good…you might get a little Schnapps in there too !

I'm so glad that you found me from the Lettered Cottage so that I could find you! I love your blog and I am LOVING this hot chocolate bar...what a fun, festive Christmas idea. I want to have a party just to set up one of these :)
